Banshee, High Country

Shrub (Alba or
Damask), origin very old.

We’ve called this
shrub Banshee for years, but Denver rosarians tell
us it’s something else. For now, we’ll call it
"High
Country Banshee". Exceptionally fragrant, clear
pink, very double blooms cover this bush in early
summer. Small, dark red hips and purple foliage
add
interest in fall. Height 6 to 10 feet, even in
light
shade, with excellent hardiness.
